(meteorobs) Meteor shower from Comet P/73 in future?

[Eric Bynum]

Dear Mr. Boschat,
       My initial impression is that the mathematical probability of a 
fragmentation of the sort that you describe taking place is small.   
However, I have been wrong about things like this in the past, as Mr. Rao 
told everyone in this forum regarding the approach of comet NEAT in 2004.
